I try with Vista Business to make a remote desktop connection to a Windows
2000 Server with a VPN connection.

I can connect to the VPN without any problem. I can see and ping all other
computer on my network.

But when I try to connect to my Windows Server 2000 with Remote Desktop
Connection, I receive the following error : " This computer can't connect to
the remote computer, try connecting again..."

A strange thing, when I use Windows XP I have no problem to connect on my
server. The bug appear only with Vista with a VPN Connection.

Any help are welcome,

Thank, Sylvain.

How is the Vista Remote Desktop client configured when trying to connect to
the W2K server? It should be like this...

Otherwise this FAQ may, or may not, help...
